The investor community has been spooked by high interest rates, a hawkish tone of voice of central bankers, a narrative about continuously rising rates. In doing so, many lost track of what we coined the “Productivity Mega Cycle.” Specifically in AI & Robotics, there are tremendous growth opportunities, offsetting the recent increase in rates. Based on the chart setups of AI & Robotics ETF’s, we predict that AI & Robotics stocks will outperform the market in 2024.
In our work, we focus on 4 mega cycles: AI & Robotics, silver, alternative energy, the broader lithium & EV space. In this article, we focus on AI & Robotics which is the opportunity that the investment opportunity associated with the Productivity Mega Cycle.
Productivity Mega Cycle
The Productivity Mega Cycle, a confluence of technological advancements and economic evolution, is reshaping industries. The core driver is the integration of AI and robotics, propelling businesses towards unprecedented efficiency. AI-driven automation optimizes processes, reduces costs, and enhances decision-making.
